  • just a little update. been scrubbing a pan for the best part of half an hour, made caramel shorcake and the caramel burnt and its STUCK. have tried soaking washing powder in the pan, soaking with hot water and now been scrubbing it with a brillo pad and its not coming off. any other sugggestions as to what i can try?

    Either soda crystals in water or biological detegent in water....but I don't soak - I cook!

    I put said pan/tin on the hob and simmer gently - smells disgusting but works a treat!

    Boddy - great to hear your cat has returned, they're such a worry!
    Maxonian - I might have left one or two little things at the TC for you...not much though! Had a lovely time with my friend. One of those days that just makes you smile. Hope you have fun when you go.
    Lil_me - sounds like we masters of avoidance at the moment! I will complete a list today. I will!!!!

    Working all day to day but will fly this evening. See, I've managed to avoid flying already!

    Quick non-flying questions - does anyone have a htc Desire phone? I'm starting to think I need a phone I can email with as I'm away a lot and I've missed a couple of potential new clients by not replying asap. I'm don't want to spend a fortune and I'm not bothered about having an I-phone so any recommendations. Thank you.

    Have a good day. Hugs to all those in need and fairy dust for LL and toots even though it's probably clogging up your vacuum cleaners and creating more flying!

    [STRIKE][/STRIKE]Morning all!

    lots to do - stupid kitty got in my composting box and pulled out a pepper core (which she ate) *what's that about?* and there are seeds EVERYWHERE. Still at least she did it pre-flight rather than post flight (ever the Pollyanna)

    Mrs Chaos - posivibes on their way
    mr AJ - well done - que sera sera and all that

    so

    Valli's grand plan

    Living room
    kitchen
    bathroom
    dining room
    hall stairs and landing
    vac DS's room
    vac DD's room

    if still going - the boudoir

    post off e bay sales
    find, and list, more [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] unique collectables

    (doesn't look to ominous listed comme ca - but it's a full house clean! :eek:)

    HHC @10 anyone?
